Default WWII Para Badge from Cornwall Ontario Show

Just picked up this badge at the Cornwall show this morning from Lou Grimshaw. I traded my extra post-war Canadian RCA Titles for it and a printed 21 Army Group badge. After finding out that my other Para Regt Badges are repros I finally think I have a good one as it has the curved inner feathers and no die defect.

So can anyone please comment on whether or not this cap badge is OK? I am just tired of thinking I have a good one only to find out I was wrong. Thanks.

There are 3 configurations of shroud lines:

1 all pointing towards the bottom of the badge, most commonly found on the "voided crown" badge as seen here:


2 right side lines pointing to the bottom, left side parallel as you show.

3 right side lines pointing to the bottom, left sides not quite parallel but slighly pointing

Type 1 an 3 are considered geuine, people are undecided about 2.
